WEST Brom boss Gary Megson has dismissed reports he is eyeing up the Owls hotseat.

The former Hillsborough midfielder still lives in Sheffield but is contracted to the West Midlands club until 2005 and said: "This is just a natural thing that happens whenever a club parts company with its manager.

"What people have done since Peter has left is have a look around at who might be available.

"They obviously look at who is out of work and then move on to people who played for the club in question and are in management. I just fall into the second category - and that's it."

Meanwhile, Birmingham's Bryan Hughes will be sidelined for up to six weeks with a stress fracture in his foot.

The midfielder hobbled off after 56 minutes of the Blues' 3-1 win at Barnsley on Saturday. Hughes has undergone a series of X-rays and scans which revealed the injury.

A spokesman for the St Andrews club said: "It is a blow for both the club and Bryan."

Swansea striker Stuart Roberts is set to join Wycombe in a #100,000 deal.

The Welsh Under-21 international has been in talks with Chairboys manager Lawrie Sanchez and will become a Wycombe player, subject to a medical at Adams Park.

Roberts becomes the first of several players who are expected to leave Vetch Field as the Swans board, under new chairman Tony Petty, continue to fight the massive financial problems at the club.
